Prepared to give him a pass based on first game back, but this indeed was noticeable.

Yep, should lift against St Kilda.
 
Re: Bachar "The Beard" Houli

Father Time seems to have caught up with Bachar. Soft tissue nearing 30 isn't a good sign.

Realistically two choices. Call it quits at the end of this season, or get traded to Suns, Giants or #lolNorf for enough $ to get us a decent compo pick.

Would cause a big dent in our membership tally too if all his family went with him

if North miss out on Polevc at 5 years for $750k, they might be willing to offer Houlie 3 years at $600k.
 
Re: Bachar "The Beard" Houli

So bachar's injury flared again? First time in a while I can think of us bringing a player in when they're not quite right. Bit worried about Bachar. Might find it hard to break back into this team before year's end.

I'm pretty sure I heard Dimma say on Talking Footy last night that Bachar would come back through the VFL when he was ready to play again.
 
Re: Bachar "The Beard" Houli

Started slowly, but got some touch back as the game progressed.
 
Re: Bachar "The Beard" Houli

Liked his game - he does add to the team and make us stronger.

If he gets through the next 2 games he will be match fit for the finals and his groin will have been tested.
 
Re: Bachar "The Beard" Houli

Not back to best form obviously but I liked seeing him run freely at times, good sign in terms of his injury. We know how well Bachar can play in big games so having him fit and with a few matches before the finals will be invaluable.

Re: Bachar "The Beard" Houli

Liked his game, having to 70 metre players in him an Short ads beautifully with the Nasty 5 back there
 
Re: Bachar "The Beard" Houli

Starting to build up to the right end of season. Will be a great advantage for us, when you think of the hard games we played without him. Gives us additional link and switch and drive.
 
Re: Bachar "The Beard" Houli

Stats passed the test but on what I saw, Bash looked very slow. Very rusty.

The perfect game to come back in but Father Time is coming.

If only one of Grigg and Houli get retained, he is in trouble.

Bash would need a strong finish to 2018 to make sure both get a gig next year.
 
Re: Bachar "The Beard" Houli

Houli always takes a game or three to get going after a break.

This is my gut feel as well, though he did grow into the game on the weekend.
